Always Sinking by A Floor Below (Lyrics)
Your mind’s made up
That much is clear
You will carry on
When I’m not here
Behind this wall
Built for myself
The inside crumbles
Shattered pieces fell
If a rising tide lifts all boats
Then why am I always sinking
These headwinds pushing me away
Always got me thinking
But somehow, oh somehow
Somehow, I’m always sinking
I’m always sinking
Handcuffed
Trapped in this life
Tried to run but
Somebody twist the knife
Inside this cage
I’ve built around me
Behind this wall
Of nothing’s plea
If a rising tide lifts all boats
Then why am I always sinking
These headwinds pushing me away
Got me thinking
But somehow, oh somehow
Somehow, I’m always sinking
I’m always sinking
No purity, no good intent
Decades gone on this descent
No purity, no peace of mind
Yet somehow I’m always trying
No purity, no good intent
Decades gone on this descent
No purity, no peace of mind
Yet somehow, I’m always trying
Yet somehow, I’m always dying
Yet somehow, I’m always dying
Yet somehow, I’m always dying
Yet somehow, I’m always dying

No Horizon by A Floor Below (Lyrics)
You push my face to the ground and I can’t breathe
Rub dirt in my eyes, how could I see
Return me to the place where I can be
Left alone to drown in my own sea
In my own sea
Around me the water’s rising
The tide is shifting now
I can’t see, there’s no horizon
This soul is drifting down
Drifting down,
down, down, down
I feel a pull as this current takes me
Praying to something that it sets me free
Help me now and forever can’t see
Leave me alone, yeah leave me be
Can’t you see
Around me the water’s rising
The tide is shifting now
I can’t see, there’s no horizon
This soul is drifting down
Drifting down
down, down, down
I will hold my breath
As I find my way
I will hold my breath
As I find my way
I will hold my breath
As I find my way
This water swirls around me
This anchor drags me down
This life tries to drown me
Never see the horizon now
Treading water, but I want to stand
Firmly stand on dry land
Rise to the surface but it pulls me under
This storm, it’s like no other
No horizon
No horizon
No horizon
No horizon

Down Sometimes by A Floor Below (Lyrics)
What’s going on inside my head
What’s real now and what’s pretend
I can’t see inside my mind
So hard to tell, tell sometimes
Is it okay if I can’t feel
Am I okay because I can’t deal
With all of this that’s been going on
Inside me all along
Sometimes it hurts to see
Sometimes it’s always me
Sometimes I feel ashamed
Sometimes I’m to blame
I’m just feeling down (It’s fine, you can’t see through)
I don’t wear a crown (It’s fine, they all blame you)
I just wear this frown (It’s fine, the end is near)
And it brings me down (It’s fine, I'm down sometimes)
Down sometimes
Down sometimes, yeah
Can you waive this magic wand
Another love that you might want
Can’t you make it disappear
Another life that’s all so clear
Is it okay if I can’t feel
Is it okay because I can’t deal
With all of this that’s been going on, yeah
Inside me all along
Sometimes I’m desperate
Sometimes I feel like sh*t
Sometimes I feel disturbed
Sometimes I feel unheard
I’m just feeling down (it’s fine, you can’t see through)
I don’t wear a crown (it’s fine, they all blame you)
I just wear a frown (it’s fine, the end is near)
And it keeps me down (it’s fine, I'm down sometimes)
Down sometimes
Down sometimes
Down sometimes
Down sometimes
Down sometimes
Down sometimes, yeah
Down

Searchlight by A Floor Below (Lyrics)
Nash my teeth as I fall asleep
Can’t stand the way I feel
Find a way to put into words
Beaten down now that feels real
I’ve forced a smile for you
Not at all because I care
Your searchlight can’t find me (nooo)
But I’m standing right here
Never smile on the inside
I’m not okay
And you’re not listening
In our race to the bottom
I’m down reaching up to you
And I’m begging you hear my plea
Made this choice to smile for you
You just pretend that I fear
Your searchlight can’t find me
But I’m standing right here
And you ask, would I die for you
Why the f*ck would you care
Your searchlight can’t find me
But I’m standing right here
